I can never have too many eyeshadows, and this palette has a solid range of color for a variety of skin tones, so it's not only is it great for me, it's great for my kit.

Another cool thing about this palette? It has three quads that are already together in it!

They even give you a simple how-to guide for each quad! I thought that was super-cool. I have to admit, though, I've never really used just the four colors from each quad for one look. I usually just pick a color or two from each and go from there.

But this time, I decided to create a look from each quad, only using the four colors in each one. And I decided to just come up with my own looks for each instead of following the directions.

Left to right: Lucius, Laetus, Samael, Solas.

I used my 239 MAC brush and swept a mixture of Laetus and Lucius all over my lid and under my brow as a highlight.

I then went in with my MAC 217 blending brush and blended Samael just above my crease.

I added some Solas with my MAC 217 brush to the same area to create even more definition.

5 of 5 |

I then added some Solas with my 781 bdellium brush under my waterline to create definition on my lower lash.

I added a winged liner and mascara to finish off the neutral look. I also added House of Lashes Smokey Muse Lashes. (For a lighter look, just stick to mascara without false lashes.)

1 of 8 |

Left to right: Liberatus, Lazarus, Saleos, Shax.

I patted some Liberatus on the centre of my lid and under my brow for a highlight with my MAC 239 brush.

I swept some Lazarus above my crease with my 787 bdellium brush.

4 of 8 |

I then added some Saleos to the outer corners and a little bit into the crease with my MAC 217 blending brush.

Now I've blended a little bit of Shax to the outer corners with my MAC 217 brush.

6 of 8 |

I add some definition with my 781 bdellium brush by sweeping some Saleos under my waterline.

7 of 8 |

I figured with this look I may as well go all in, so I added some of my MAC Pro Longwear Definedly Black in my waterline, threw on a quick liner on top with my Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner in Intense Black and popped on some double stacked MAC 35 lashes.

I then went in again with my 781 bdellium brush and smoked out my liner with Saleos.

Obviously this is a super-dramatic smoky halo look, but I figured I'd have fun with it and go all out. To keep this look lighter, don't add the liner or lashes and just add some mascara and maybe a tight-line on top.

Left to right: Latinus, Ludwin, Succubus, Sytry.

2 of 5 |

I'm starting off by sweeping Ludwin across my crease and blending it just above it with my 781 bdellium brush. I also added some underneath my waterline.

3 of 5 |

Using the same brush (I wipe it off with a paper towel between colors) I then patted Succubus onto my lid and swept it under my waterline as well.

4 of 5 |

Using that same brush again, I then went in with Sytry and blended it into the outer corner of my eyes.

5 of 5 |

Lastly I went in with my MAC 239 brush and swept Latiunus under my brow as a highlight.

I added a bit of a liner on top along with mascara. I already had some liner in my waterline from the previous look I did, but I think it works with it. For a lighter look, don't add liner — just add some mascara, and you're good to go.

I've shown you only three ways to use this palette, but by combining different colors from the quads, there's probably a million different ways you can use it.

Personally, I think this palette is worth the hype.

Have you been thinking of getting this palette?

Do you already have it?

Do you ever use the instructions that come with palettes, or do you just wing it?
